It measures 6 1/2 inches by 5 inches.

Fabric Yo-Yo Headbands Part 1

As you may have figured out from reading this blog, I love adding fabric yo yos to things. A while ago I decided to make some headbands with them. So, I made some fabric yo yos and then we tracked down some headbands with teeth in them. We found a bunch of satin, tulle, netting, ect. on sale after Halloween. So, we were able to get a bunch of small pieces of materials reasonable priced. :D Here's how the first three turned out. I love my new Christmas headband. It is so festive! I think all 3 turned out nice-The one with the purple and green tulle was a Christmas present for one of my cousins. :)

Christmas Cards..

Hello Readers!

As you can tell I have gotten a bit behind on blogging. I will do my best to start catching up and blogging on a semi regular basis. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and is enjoying 2012 so far. Be on the look out for my first blog giveaway early next month. :)

Etsy Ornament Finds

Happy December! I can't believe Christmas is just over 3 weeks away. It will be here before we know it. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season no matter what you celebrate. :) Lately I have been looking at a lot of handmade ornaments on etsy and tutorials to make my own. You might say I am getting a little bit obsessed. I found some really great ones on etsy recently that would make great additions to anyone's ornament collection.

I decided to take a break from sewing the other day and did some beading instead.

Christmas Cards Ornament

I found a wonderful tutorial on making an ornament out of Christmas cards on the scoutiegirl blog. You can find it here: Holiday Keepsake Ornament Tutorial , It is a great craft to make with any cards you get. I love the idea of repurposing cards instead of having to throw the whole thing away after the holidays are over. So, after I found this tutorial a few weeks before Christmas I eagerly awaited the arrival of our holiday cards so I could make one. The only thing I need to buy was the punch for this project-so I took a 50% off coupon to the craft store and picked up a 1 1/2 inch circle punch. Since it is a basic circle punch I was suprised I didn't already have one in my ever growing scrap book/ card making supplies. If you decide to try this project too or have already please be sure to leave a link so I can see how yours turned out. :)

Christmas Cards

So yesterday I decided that it was time to start making Christmas cards-Sometimes I don't make them all at once. Mainly because I tend to get carried away and make a bunch. I think they came out pretty good for my limited card making skills. And I managed to finish 6 of them. I think I will get more supplies before I make the rest of the cards. Here are the two cards that I think turned out the best.
